Read most original new thriller, a story of glamour, secrets and obsession

Actor Adam Sealey owes his Oscar nomination to mentor Jonathan Dors. It was Jonathan who trained him in the Method: digging deep into personal trauma in pursuit of the greatest performance.

It gets results.
But there’s a price.

For Adam, it cost him the love of his life.
And then there’s what happened twenty years ago.
An awful secret he’s buried deep inside.

Yet as Oscar night beckons, someone is threatening to dig up the truth.
Adam is finally in the spotlight that he craved for so long.
But it might just mean the world is watching as everything falls apart . . .
